Dear{user},

We are excited to announce Google Drive, a way to access and share all your files and folders, at any time and on any device.

What is Google Drive?

Think of Google Drive as your personal stash of files and folders that follows you wherever you go - it lets you keep everything and share anything. With Google Drive, you can access files, folders, and Google documents (such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides) from a web browser or any device where you've installed your Google Drive.

Your Google Drive is in the cloud, but you can also install the desktop and mobile application to access your files from your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other Android or iOS mobile device, in addition to the online interface at drive.google.com. Google Drive's built-in sync capability ensures that your files, folders, and Google documents are the same on all your devices.

How do I try out Google Drive?

Visit Google Drive on the web at drive.google.com.

Download and install the Google Drive for your Mac/PC application. This lets you sync files from your hard drive to Google Drive on the web, giving you access to your files on any device, at any time. Customize this step as appropriate for your domain. For example, send users directly to your administrator or technical support department if you don't want them to install this themselves, or remove the step entirely if you are using the .msi file to deploy Google Drive.

How much storage do I have for my Google Drive files? Optional section, to be customized as appropriate for your domain. [See Google Drive storage to learn about your administrator storage options, including the amount of free storage available for your domain.]

When reading the Google Drive Help Center, you may see that the default amount of storage is 15 GB, (to use for Drive, Gmail, and photos) and that you can purchase your own. At {company name}, we're providing you with {30 GBor XX GB or unlimited storage}. {The following sentence does not apply to unlimited storage} If you need more storage, you can purchase additional storage on your own, or contact your administrator. Provide your information about how you want your users to buy and/or request storage.
